mounting joysticks (supers)...question
NoOne=NBA=:
I'm happy with mine just screwed to the bottom of the 1X poplar I used.
The REAL depth is right at 3/4".
The wood that is sold as 3/4" plywood usually has an actual thickness of 11/32", or so.
I'd try it out for a few days, and see if it's really going to bother you that much before doing all the extra work.
If you do decide to do the extra work, I'd recommend practicing on a few pieces before cutting on the real CP.

well routing out 1/4" undear each joystick would probably take only about 15 min. so its not like its a huge undertaking, but im just wondering if its necessary. right now im my first cp, the joysticks are fine, but thats because i dont know any different....as in ive never played on a cp that had the joysticks higher. so thats my crossroads.

I've used mine in thicker and thinner boards, which is basically the same as effect as routing.
I didn't see a huge difference in playability when using the same stick at different depths.
It may be the way I hold them while playing.
(Hand over the top like a ball top).
Messing with the throw on them made a HUGE difference; and changing out stick length made a BIG difference, though.

what do you mean by the throw of the joystick?

The distance you have to move the stick before it registers and/or reaches the extent of it's travel.
